UX Researcher & Designer PhD candidate in Human-Centered Computing

​My research interests lie in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) with a focus on usable privacy and security. Advised by Dr. Kelly Caine, I am doing research on photo privacy protection on Online Social Networks (OSNs). We employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct a series of online experiments with MTurk participants. These studies provide recommendations for future photo privacy protection mechanism development.

I switched my role from a designer to a researcher; while outside of my research, I am still a big fan of all kinds of arts and design. “Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives, whether or not we are aware of it, and can also be inspiring, empowering and enlightening.”​
